introducing... hyunwoo "harvey" hwang

what's in the nariza bois' very own vortex's car, you ask? well first off, the 1997 supra is totally decked out in various star stickers. some basic shades are always tucked away in the upper console and nos is a must in every racer's ride. an old ipod is tossed in the back along with his most used zip up hoodie. don't tell anyone, but his trusty lighter and secret stash are buried in the middle console. and of course, his favorite cds hang over his head from the visor.

𝟬𝟬𝟭.　phoenix's handy dandy skateboard. tucked away in her trunk at all times, she is never seen without it. aside from their car, it's phoenix's usual mode of transportation. don't bring up the fact that she still can't do a 360 kickflip or she'll throw a fit!

𝟬𝟬𝟮.　their orange motorola razr, with a cute phone charm to match! can't rip it away from her, they're either texting their friends or updating their myspace top 8.

𝟬𝟬𝟯.　her 2nd generation ipod shuffle is always attached to her hip ( literally. ) she's always losing her earphones, but when they have them they'll be jamming along to their carefully curated playlist while working on cars.

𝟬𝟬𝟰.　multiple cans of monster energy are littered around inside her car — it's a neat freak's nightmare! phoenix always says they'll clean it up, but there's always at least three somewhere in there.

𝟬𝟬𝟱.　phoenix keeps a tin of her favorite wintergreen altoids in her glove box. there are about four pieces left; they can't help but have one ( or five ) for the road every time.

𝟬𝟬𝟲.　loose change, usually in the crevices of the seats and along the floor. if phoenix finds enough, she'll probably just buy another can of monster.

describe your first race. was it a formal challenge or a traffic light chase? how did it feel?

"my  first  race?  oh,  that  was  a  trip.  street  challenge,  nothing  too  official.  just  a  bunch  of  people,  some  cars,  and  a  little  bit  of  chaos—perfect,  right?  my heart  was  racing,  but  i  was  cool.  light  turned  green,  and  i’m  thinking,  ‘this  is  it,  i  got  this.’  but…  yeah,  no.  i  didn’t  win.  kinda  hard  to  when  your  engine  decides  to  act  up  in  the  middle  of  it.  i  could  feel  it  slowing  down,  but  i  wasn’t  about  to  back  off.  big  mistake.  the  other  guy  crossed  the  line  before  i  could  even  figure  out  what  went  wrong.  guess  i  should’ve  paid  more  attention  to  the  car,  huh?  that  loss?  yeah,  it  sucked.  but  i  didn’t  sit  there  whining  about  it.  i  just  took  it  as  a  lesson—don’t  get  too  cocky,  and  always  listen  to  the  damn  engine."

when did your first realize you had a passion for cars / racing?

"huh.  guess  it  wasn’t  a  sudden  realization.  i’ve  always  had  a  thing  for  cars—probably  inherited  it  from  growing  up  around  them.  my  father  loved  luxury  vehicles.  but  racing?  that  came  later.  i  don’t  know  if  it  was  the  adrenaline,  the  control,  or  just  the  fact  that  i’m  damn  good  at  it,  but  once  i  got  behind  the  wheel,  i  felt  like  i  finally  found  something  that  made  sense.  it’s  not  just  about  the  speed  or  the  rush—though,  yeah,  that  part’s  nice—it’s  about  owning  the  road.  i  wasn’t  just  some  girl  in  a  car,  i  was  the  girl  in  the  car.  racing  gave  me  that.”

describe your personal definition of loyalty to your crew.

"loyalty?  to  me,  it’s  not  about  just  showing  up  when  it’s  convenient  or  when  the  race  is  on.  it’s  about  sticking  around  when  things  get  ugly.  when  the  crew’s  down,  you  don’t  bail—you  dig  in  and  you  get  your  hands  dirty.  you  don’t  just  run  when  the  shit  hits  the  fan.  loyalty  isn’t  about  kissing  ass,  it’s  about  being  there  when  it  counts.  and  don’t  even  think  about  trying  to  jump  ship.  once  i’m  with  a  crew,  i’m  with  them  through  whatever.  no  second  chances  with  that."

have you found a ‘family’ within your crew? (if not, would you ever consider swapping?)

"yeah,  i’ve  found  a  family,  you  could  say.  a  messed-up,  dysfunctional  family,  but  a  family  nonetheless.  it’s  not  all  rainbows  and  butterflies,  but  that’s  what  makes  it  real.  i’m  not  the  type  to  just  pack  up  and  swap,  and  i'm  kind  of  offended  by  the  inquiry—once  i’m  in,  i’m  in.  the  prowlers  saved  me,  and  now,  they’re  my  home."

tell the story behind your alias.

""bliss"  started  as  a  bit  of  a  joke,  to  be  honest.  when  i  first  joined  the  rodani  prowlers,  i  was  a  mess—a  walking  disaster  with  a  knack  for  making  everyone  around  me  uncomfortable  with  my mouth.  one  of  the  girls  in  the  crew  used  to  call  me  "bliss"  ironically,  because  i  was  the  least  blissful  person  you  could  imagine.  but  after  i  got  my  shit  together,  i  kept  the  name.  it  felt  like  a  reminder  of  how  far  i’d  come,  a  little  piece  of  irony  i  decided  to  own.  now?  it  suits  me  in  its  own...  weird  way.  bliss  is  what  i’m  chasing—not  in  a  dreamy,  fairytale  sense,  but  in  the  way  i  live  for  those  fleeting  moments  of  peace,  clarity,  and  thrill  when  i’m  in  the  spotlight  or  just  cruising  down  the  strip  after  dark."

what does losing a race feel like to you?

"losing?  oh,  it  feels  like  shit.  like,  you  know  that  feeling  when  you’ve  been  kicked  in  the  gut,  but  someone  keeps  their  foot  there?  yeah,  that’s  it.  i  don’t  like  losing.  at  all.  i’m  competitive  as  hell—whether  it’s  racing  or  something  as  dumb  as  a  game  of  cards.  it  doesn’t  matter.  losing  just...  eats  at  me.  i  get  pissed,  frustrated,  maybe  throw  a  few  things.  but  i’m  aware  of  it.  i  don’t  need  anyone  telling  me  i’m  a  sore  loser.  it’s  fine—just  don’t  expect  me  to  take  it  gracefully.  i’ll  learn  from  it,  though.  eventually.  and  next  time?  you’re  gonna  wish  you  hadn’t  won."

what does winning a race feel like to you?

"winning  feels  like  all  the  pieces  finally  falling  into  place.  like  i’m  in  control,  and  no  one  can  take  that  away  from  me.  it’s  a  rush  i  can’t  quite  explain—so  much  more  satisfying  than  any  high  i’ve  ever  chased.  it’s  validation.  it’s  my  proof  that  i’ve  fought  through  the  shit,  and  i’m  still  standing."

is  street  racing  a  long  term  plan  or  a  short  lived  hobby  for  you?

"right,  well,  i  haven't  been  doing  this  forever,  just  a  few  years,  but  i  can't  really  imagine  not  doing  it,  you  know?  it's  kind  of  become  part  of  the  rhythm  of  my  life.  could  i  stop?  maybe...  but  i  don't  really  see  that  happening.  it's  not  like  i  have  some  grand  long-term  plan,  but  right  now?  it  feels  like  the  thing  i’m  supposed  to  be  doing.  so,  yeah...  guess  i’m  in  it  for  the  long  haul."

how do you feel about the establishment of the nariza bois, particularly in relation to their split from the rodani prowlers?

"oh,  i  love  drama.  like,  who  doesn’t?  but  the  thing  is,  i’m  just  an  import  model,  so  i  don’t  really  get  the  full  scoop  on  the  whole  crew  drama.  i  hear  bits  and  pieces,  but  i  wish  i  knew  more.  the  split  between  the  prowlers  and  the  bois?  sounds  like  a  juicy  mess,  honestly.  but  hey,  i’m  not  in  the  racer  world,  so  i  just  do  my  thing—strike  a  pose,  look  pretty,  and  let  the  drama  unfold  around  me.  would  love  to  be  in  the  loop  though,  you  know?"

what car do you drive? how have your made your car your own?

"i  drive  a  ‘69  ford  mustang  mach  1—deep  burgundy  with  gold  accents.  i  call  her  sovereign  because,  well,  she’s  a  queen,  obviously.  she’s  my  pride  and  joy,  and  i’ve  put  in  a  lot  of  work  to  make  her  truly  mine.  custom  gold  rims,  a  throaty  exhaust  that  turns  heads,  and  an  engine  that  purrs  like  a  tiger.  the  interior’s  got  those  classic  touches,  but  i  added  some  modern  upgrades,  like  a  killer  sound  system  because  why  not?  sovereign  doesn’t  just  look  good;  she  owns  the  road.  she’s  not  just  a  car—she’s  my  statement  piece."

you're often seen around [location]– what does a typical visit look like for you?

"you’ll  usually  find  me  around  the  strip  club,  body.  it’s  not  just  where  i  work—it’s  where  i  became  who  i  am  today.  it’s  a  place  full  of  people  who’ve  been  through  their  own  versions  of  hell.  when  i’m  not  at  a  race,  that’s  where  you’ll  find  me.  it’s  a  mix  of  chaos  and  familiarity.  i  like  it  that  way."

do you ever have the urge to swap positions?

"sometimes,  yeah,  i  wonder  what  it’d  be  like  behind  the  wheel  in  a  race.  there’s  something  about  that  raw  adrenaline,  that  control  over  every  twist  and  turn—i  mean,  who  wouldn’t  be  tempted?  but  then  i  remember  i’m  pretty  damn  good  at  what  i  do.  i’m  not  sure  if  the  world  is  ready  for  me  in  the  driver’s  seat,  though.  bliss  behind  the  wheel?  that’s  a  whole  new  level  of  chaos.  still,  never  say  never—life’s  about  keeping  people  on  their  toes,  right?"

( 1 ) his black sidekick 2 can always be located on his person in his back right pocket; it's apparently bad luck to place it anywhere else... also he's forgetful. ( 2 ) a small baggie of weed can either be tucked away in his back pocket with his sidekick or it doesn't exist depending on who's asking. ( 3 ) the keys to his honda sr2000 are typically latched onto his belt loop or in his front left pocket. ( 4 ) this little black lighter has been through hell and back with him since he moved to miami; claims it's his "good luck charm" because he has yet to lose it unlike his others lighters. front right pocket. ( 5 ) a pack of extra gum since you never know whose breath stinks or what pretty face will approach him on the streets. you can never be too sure. also in his front right pocket. ( 6 ) literally can't leave the house with grabbing some kind of chapstick or lip balm. wdym you left your house with your lips ashy ? you're 20. still in his front right pocket. ( 7 ) everybody has loose money somewhere on their person and he keeps his in his left back pocket or really anywhere he feels like placing it. ( 8 ) he's hot, of course he has condoms on him at all times; swears it's for other people who might need it but... he's lying. normally kept with his sidekick and weed.

[lovedbeauty]

an interview with hunter campbell aka ; cupid ;

when  did  your  first  realize  you  had  a  passion  for  cars  /  racing?

he listened intently , though it was rather challenging task for him . his lack of interest in completing the interview was easily discernable . he didn't like how invasive it felt , but he kept his opinions to himself . " i've known my whole life , " he began , shrugging . " my dad , he used to work on cars . always had me there in the garage with him , just watchin' as he did . when i was old enough to pass him tools he'd always be like ' hey , bud . . . pass me the torque wrench ' or whatever else he needed . i remember lovin' the payoff more than anything . seeing all his hard work put to good use . . . it really inspired something in me , " the male stated . " he never brought me racin' though . my mother would've put him in an early grave if he did , " he replied , chuckling . " i discovered the racing on my own . that's a story for a different time . "

describe  your  personal  definition  of  loyalty  to  your  crew.

loyalty . that was such a pretty little concept , wasn't it ? he didn't care much for getting affectionate or too sentimental when it came to the crew , or anyone else , but he could somewhat entertain the question . " loyalty , i guess . . . means not turnin' your back on people who've been there for you . it means standing by each other's sides through all the bullshit you face . "

tell  the  story  behind  your  alias.

hunter groaned , head shaking in frustration . " okay , i'll tell you , but i still don't find it very amusing . it's more of a joke than anything . you know how cupid's supposed to be the love master ? i'm the opposite . i've never been great at the whole . . . love thing . right ? " he half - asked . " like , i don't settle down , not since my last relationship ended years ago . i care about these assholes , but they love to laugh at my mistakes . they think they're so funny , i swear . "

what  does  losing  a  race  feel  like  to  you?

foot tapped impatiently against the floor , the question filling him with a sense of dread . " a loss feels like shit and tells me that i'm not doin' something right with my work on these cars . it makes me all the more determined to figure out a way to fix the errors and ensure a victory the second time around . like , i fuckin' hate losing , but i guess it always teaches me a lesson . "

what  does  winning  a  race  feel  like  to  you?

" winnin' a race makes me feel the exact opposite way of how losing makes me feel , " he answered simply . he paused for a beat , before carrying on , feeling like his answer was a little unsatisfactory . " winning feels like . . . reassurance , and it just inspires me to keep up the good work . it's a great feeling . . . knowing you've done well . "

is  street  racing  a  long  term  plan  or  a  short  lived  hobby  for  you?

" long term , " he was quick to answer . " i've been here for seven years . i think that sorta exceeds the whole premise of ' short term ' don't you ? " he questioned with a laugh . " this is my passion . i'm not leaving this life anytime soon . i've got everything i want here . why'd i ever wanna go ? "

how  do  you  feel  about  the  establishment  of  the  nariza  bois,  particularly  in  relation  to  their  split  from  the  rodani  prowlers?

his jaw clenched at the question . hunter knew he should've been prepared for such a query , but it didn't make that sting of betrayal fade either . he inhaled sharply , gaze dropping as he stared at the floor , attempting to gather his answer . " all i'm willing to say is that i used to be really great friends with a lot of those guys , and i was pretty upset with their decision , " he said , shaking his head . " we had something great going for us . now it's all gone . " he'd leave it at that , because he didn't like the vulnerable position he'd been put into , and he felt as though he'd said enough .

do  you  ever  have  the  urge  to  swap  positions?

he shrugged , a chuckle pushing past is lips . " well , i definitely don't give off model energy , so that's one opportunity right out the window . have you seen some of these models they've got ? i'd be like a fish outta water . " he shook his head and took another moment to consider things . " i mean , i've thought about gettin' behind the wheel for a change . it's not like i've never raced before . i've only ever done it at stoplights . nothin' official , nothing for prize money or anything . just for the adrenaline . if they needed me to step in , i would . for now , though , i think i'm most valuable as a mechanic . i've got a special kind of talent for this . "
